The fault as described did not show up until December. Now Maplin

No there isn't.

However, the Sale of Goods Act (as amended) does allow you to claim
for a range of faults for up to 6 years from purchase. And during the
first 6 months it's up to the retailer to prove that the goods aren't
faulty, rather than vice-versa.

Right, cheers for that - I'll dig out the receipt and nip down to
Maplins tomorrow...
